I only achieve simplicity with enormous effort.

Art is a language which anneals individuals to each other through experiences that are uniquely human.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Fear has a very concrete power of keeping us from doing and saying the things that are our purpose.

Love comes… when you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

It's more difficult to be simple, and it's easier to be more complicated.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.
